Education Jon Young received his B.E.E. (summa cum laude), MSc, and PhD (1971) degrees from The Ohio State University. He has been a research scientist and principal investigator at the ElectroScience Laboratory since 1971. Dr. Young served as the Associate Director of the ElectroScience Laboratory from 1984 until 2003. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, and a member of URSI Commission A. He has published over 20 papers, and presented over 100 oral papers. Research Interests Dr. Young has more than 25 years experience in Ground Penetrating Radar. His recent GPR research is devoted to improved antennas, airborne GPR systems, and Unexploded Ordnance detection and identification. He has also focused on ultra-wideband (UWB) radar and antennas. His project developed the OSU Compact Radar Cross-Section Range, which has been the foundation for the ESL Compact Range Consortium, involving over 16 companies over the period 1987 to the present. His recent involvement in transient scattering phenomenology studies involve higher order scattering mechanisms in target signatures, and the application of image processing to extract these features.
